"Drop your weapons or we
shoot" the door was pulled down as many men in police uniform surrounded
the entire room. One of the officer's said,
" This entire compound is
surrounded, your men outside have been apprehended, all exit have been sealed.
Surrender your weapons and set the hostages free"
Mrs Badmus was already shaking
with fear. Her men one after the other surrendered their weapon. Mr
christopher's hand was on his head in utter despair.
It was too good to be true. Non
of us informed the police, so how did they know we needed help. The answer to
my question walked through the door. YINKA
"Officer that is the woman
arrest her" yinka told
them. When she saw Harry and I on the floor she ran
to us crying for joy that we were still alive. As the officers gathered up the
culprit to the station, I kept on wondering how yinka found out we were in danger.
We all went to the station to
write down our statement. We told the police everything, how I found some
evidence in my Dad's office bag. How I went to ogun state in search of answers,
that lead me to mr christopher and the deposit safe box. How they tried to
shoot me and ended up shooting yinka instead, the car accident and Harry's
kidnap.
We told them everything leading
to the final attempt on our lives when they discovered we had the complete Evidence.
It was Yinka's turn to give her
statement, and she began " the night I was shot, my mum stayed with me at
the hospital, late at night I heard her
making a phone call. She taught I was asleep. She was sounding very angry, she
said "you fools, can't you get a simple Job done, you had to shot my
daughter instead of that stupid girl I told you to kill. You all are very
clumsy. You must not make any mistake tonight or I will kill all of you"
my mum stopped talking and listened to the caller for awhile. Then she said
" good, make sure you don't hurt him inject him again tomorrow morning to
keep him unconscious. Harry is foolish but he is still my son. I will call you
later" she ended the call.
I lay down quietly, I was
afraid to make a sound, I even held my breath till am sure she wasn't
concentrating on me. A woman that can abduct her own son can also kill her
daughter if that daughter discovered her secret.
I was worried for Happy. Why
she wanted Happy dead was beyond me. But I knew that I have to keep happy safe
from danger. So I devised a plan.
The next day I was discharged,
instead of taking me home, mum insisted on taking me back to campus. I told her
I needed to recover at home but she refused to let me come home with her.
That was when I knew, she was
hiding something Big. I have to find a way to sneak inside our house without
her finding out.
I called Cook, she is someone I
can trust. I told her everything. She sneaked me into the house that night
without the other servants knowing.
I stayed at cook's room. From
her room you can get a good view of the seating room. And you can sneak in and
out easily.
One day, Cook came to tell me
that my mum was sending all the servants home for 3days leave. There was
something fishy about that. My mum is not a compassionate person, she does not
care about her workers so why is she giving them 3 days leave. Why did she want
them out of the house that particular day.
After all the servants left,
cook included, I hide myself behind a huge curtain used to decorate the seating
room and waited to see what would happen that day. Not too long. Mum walked in
with 5 men. One looked like a lawyer, the rest looked like thugs. They started
discussing and I got the shock of my life.
My mum instructed them to kill
everyone that has seen the evidence. I didn't know what the evidence was but it
had to do with Happy because they were mentioning her name from time to time.
The man that looked like a
lawyer asked if Harry should be killed along with the others, to my greatest
surprise mum said "yes". Even the lawyer looked surprised and said
" but he is your son". Then she replied "he is not my biological
child. I adopted all my children. kill
him"
I closed my mouth tightly to prevent myself from making any
sound. I couldn't believe what I heard. I stayed patiently and listened to all
their plans. Six hours later they left with my mum.
I rushed to the police and told
them all I have heard. They sent some officers to follow my mum. That is how we
found my Brother and his fianc�e".
She finished her statement
Harry was quiet, he was
emotionally and physically exhausted. I could see the hurt in his eyes. I
wanted to hug him and tell him it would be fine but I knew it would take time.
The next day the case was taken
to court, based on valid evidence, mrs Badmus was sent to life in prison for
murder, kidnapping, attempted murder and assault.
Mr Christopher was also
sentenced to life. For the same charges.
After some months Harry and
yinka healed emotionally. Yemisi their sister refused to believe the charges
against their mum and blamed Harry and Yinka for testifying against mum.
Knowing they were not Blood
related didn't reduce the love Harry had for his sisters. Yinka and I became
inseparable. Our Bond grew stronger.
Richard and christy found out
they are expecting a Baby. And for the love christy showered on me when I had
no one, I gave her some of my properties along with N7million.
As for Harry and I, we got
married one month later. Our wedding was like a fairy tale. Everybody that came
was wondering at this match made in heaven. Harry looked gorgeous in a Tux.
While I looked like Cinderella. Everybody was standing to get good view of the
Richest and latest couple in town.
We went to Dubai for our
honeymoon. And the experience can be described as "heaven on earth"
We were Rich beyond our
imagination and getting richer by the day. We made good investments that grew
daily.
Finally God blessed us with twin Boys. Ayodele
and Ayomide. My name Happiness is working for me at last. This is my fate and
destiny.
I hope you enjoyed this piece.
